Are you ready for OSCP?

[M4sterPh0enix]

There are many blogs about taking OSCP so do this blog. Before register the course, I ask myself a lot about my experience and dedication. However nothing is impossible if you have the discipline and dedication. I passed the exam on second attempt.

I register the course for 90 days lab access because of my working hours. Seriously 90 days? Are you kidding me? 90 days lab access?? Are you mad?! That is so much!! However not for me. The total time I spent in the lab could be only 1 month.
